Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to creating a plurality of customised colours using two or more base colours. More specifically, the present invention relates to a handheld device and a method that enables users to create their own custom colour liquid lipsticks instantly anywhere.
- The global cosmetics market is growing at the rate of about 4% every year. Colour cosmetics (or makeup) segment is one of the largest contributors towards this growth. Colour cosmetics has recently joined other lifestyle segments such as clothing, perfumery etc. in the popular trends towards customisation and personalisation.
- One of the first segments in colour cosmetics industry to embrace customisation was liquid foundations. Services wherein consultants mix the perfect shade for a user in-store or via an order placed online is know in the art. Similarly, customisation of lip colours in-store or online is know in the art. A big tabletop printer for ‘printing’ custom lip colours is also known in the art.
- While these existing products or services appease the consumer's need for customised products, those skilled in the art will realise that they either have a long wait time or the devices are very bulky to travel with. Also, consumers only receive a couple of customised colours at a time making it difficult to use repeatedly.
- Today's consumers are impatient and actively seek to get more value for their money. Moreover, consumers are becoming more eco-conscious and have shown a preference for smaller product quantities and reusable packaging to reduce product and packaging wastage.
- There are no known products in the art that enable a user to instantly create their own colours (for lipstick, eye colours, foundations etc.) in the comfort of their homes or while traveling.
- Keeping in mind this pressing need of the market for instant gratification and sustainability, the present invention discloses a handheld device and a method thereof to enable consumers to create their own customised colour cosmetics instantly.
- The present invention discloses a handheld device and a method to enable a user to create their own customised colours instantly anywhere. The proposed application of the handheld device is for liquid lipsticks, however, variations of the present invention to create any cosmetics or liquid colour of semi solid/solid or liquid consistency are foreseen and are within the scope of the present invention.
- The handheld device comprises of a holder body with two or more slots to house two or more dispensers, wherein each dispenser contains a liquid lipstick of a specific base colour. The base colours can primary colours from any colour system such as RYB (Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Black), CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key), RGB (Red, Green, Blue, White, Black) etc.
- To create a specific custom colour, a user refers to a colour recipe chart and pumps each of the dispensers the number of times mentioned in the colour recipe chart. When the user pumps each dispenser, the liquid lipstick inside the dispensers falls into a container attached to the holder body. The user then detaches the container and manually mixes all of the dispensed liquid lipstick with a wand to create their desired custom colour.
- The user can create any number of different colour liquid lipsticks in accordance with the present invention and also store created liquid lipsticks for later use.
- The various aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent in light of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
